Tampa progressive metal outfit crafting ambitious compositions since 2015. Planet Storm and the earlier Terms of the Saw Doctor EP demonstrate a band that uses prog's expansive toolkit while staying rooted in Florida's heavy music DNA.
Anomine delivers melodic death metal from Oulu since 2019, adding to northern Finland's deep tradition of extreme music infused with Scandinavian melody. Their unusual name sets them apart in a crowded field of Finnish melodeath.
Anomos delivers melodic death metal from Edinburgh since 2018, their Greek name meaning "lawless" reflecting an approach that defies musical conventions. Their Scottish capital origins feed a sound that balances melody with structural rebellion.
Anonoument has been fusing death, melodic death, and thrash metal from the lakeside town of Heinola since 2011. Their triple-genre approach creates a versatile extreme metal sound forged in southern Finland's Päijänne region.
Anopheles is a death metal band from Rio de Janeiro with roots going back to the mid-1990s Brazilian extreme metal scene. The band recorded their foundational release "Abstention of Life" in May 1995 at Estúdio Manhatan in Rio de Janeiro, an album that has since circulated among collectors of rare Brazilian demo recordings. Their lyrical themes deal with agony, suffering, and the darker dimensions of humanity.
Anoreksi delivers melodic death metal from Istanbul since 2018. Their Turkish spelling of 'anorexia' drives compositions of hungry intensity from the Bosphorus metropolis.
Sharing their name with the legendary Nantes symphonic black metal act of the 1990s, this incarnation of Anorexia Nervosa has been carrying the banner from 2015 onward. Their multi-genre blend of black, death, industrial, and symphonic metal continues the tradition of boundary-pushing extreme music from the Loire-Atlantique capital.
Watertown, Massachusetts black metal project whose 2013 EP Bedroom Songs strips the genre to its most intimate and vulnerable. The ellipsis in the name and the domestic setting of the title suggest a deeply personal approach to extreme music.
Anorganic explores avant-garde death metal from Zarechny in the Penza Region since 2015. Their synthetic name — the opposite of organic — drives compositions that reject natural forms in favor of artificial extremity.
